I have been bothered by this for a LONG time now and I would like some other peoples opinions~
I have units running with various raid configurations and I have units with no raid at all.
But...... Im getting ready to put a new unit up with a 6 drive setup and I simply cannot make up my mind raid or no raid and I would very much like to do it with no raid but I cant work it out in my head...........
If you have
1 Drive for OS
2 Drives for /home /home2
That would leave 3 for backup data
BUT thats where I just got in trouble - I cant figure out how I would tell cpanel to use all 3 drives for backup data unless I just ran those 3 as a 1 raid drive and had cpanel write to it as /backup for example
I really dont want to do another full raid setup its proven to either be too slow or too problematic when a drive does fail even with hotswapping something always seems to screw up.
Opinions?
A nice feature change to the backup option in cpanel might be
Drive 1-4 mount name and then the ability to specify user accounts to each drive like a-g drive 1 and so on .........
